One thing we'll be doing ASAP is having the whole interior and exterior painted. The exterior isn't that difficult, we only have to pick one main siding color and a trim color (which is currently the most horrible olive and poop green from the 70's and most of the reason that the house was on the market so long). It's the inside that's freaking me out.
At first I thought, hey, all I have to really do is pick a color for the living room and dining room and I'll just paint the rest a kind of off-white. Oh, but then there's also the kids' rooms...which I don't want to paint pink and blue because those are gender stereotypes that I don't believe in, but I want them to be bright and welcoming - not white. And also our bedroom, with new duvet and pillows in grey and yellow. Need to paint that so that it creates an nice soothing feeling... Then there's the new office/guest room of completely undetermined color scheme because we've never had a room like that before.
We have 2.5 baths now! So do I buy new accessories/towels for the new bathroom and coordinate the paint color to the new things? Or just pick something randomly right now because I don't have time to buy new stuff before we move? Aagh! I give up!
It's not that I don't care about the paint, but I kind of just want someone to come in there in and pick it for me. You know, like on HGTV! Only I need them to do it by Wednesday. Any volunteers?
